Celine and Julie Go Boating: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

'''Céline et Julie vont en bateau''' (''Céline and Julie Go Boating'') is a 1974 French drama/fantasy/arthouse film directed by Jacques Rivette. The film's French title contains a pun; "vont en bateau" can also mean "get caught up in a story" or "go crazy".

The film opens with soft-spoken [[Redheaded Hero|red-headed]] librarian and part-time magic student Julie (Dominique Labourier) lounging in a Parisan park whilst reading a book on magic. All of a sudden, [[Stage Magician]] Céline (Juliet Berto) dashes past and drops an article of clothing; much like the White Rabbit from ''[[~~Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|~~Alice in Wonderland]]''. [[Follow the White Rabbit|Céline, sure enough, picks it up and pursues her]].

Over the next few days, the two women encounter each other about Paris. Eventually, Céline turns up at the door to Julie's apartment with a bloody gash on her leg. Julie allows her to move in with her. Asking her what happened, Céline tells Julie that she had a run-in with the residents of a big old house where she's working as a nanny, and that she believes they're now after her.

* [[Le Film Artistique]]

* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: Kind of a habit for director Jacques Rivette, and this film certainly has moments of this. Take for instance, the opening footchase (see [[Shout Out]]) that seems to go on and on until the heroines have practically covered all of Montmartre.
